Hey ah na na
Innocence is over
Hey ah na na, over
Hey ah na na
Ignorance is spoken
Hey ah na na, spoken
Hey ah na na
Confidence is broken
Hey ah na na broken
Hey ah na na
Sustenance is stolen
Hey ah na na, stolen
Hey ah na na
Arrogance is potent
Hey ah na na, potent, yeah

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start

Hey ah na na
I repent tomorrow
Hey ah na na tomorrow
Hey ah na na
I suspend my sorrow
Hey ah na na
Sorrow, yeah

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start

Hey ah na na
A romance is fallen
Hey ah na na fallen
Hey ah na na
Recommend you borrow
Hey ah na na, borrow, yeah

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start
Hey ah na na

    Interesting. I just read a great book called Why Do some Apples Get Rotten on Amazon. It's a true story about a beautiful courtesan, woman of mystery and passion :) It says here eat the apple so young: let go of your innocence too soon you never can have it back? Modern culture does that, look at Britney etc. look at the pressure to grow up and folks are having relationships before they're really ready. The lady in the book says she broke the rules by falling in love at the drop of a pin, maybe that's what the song's about too.
